Before I go too far into this post let me say that I in no way shape form or fashion have “mastered” the art of love (my wife would vouch for this), but I know HE who has & is the very same love we all seek, we all need & the we all at some point attempt to unpack in our lives. We will get to that soon enough!

It was just amazing to search through twitter and see what others thought love was or is. Some were funny, most were honest & some were even scary. Scary because it seemed to revolve solely around them.

One thing I know for certain is that love is SELFLESS!! it has to be or it isn’t love! It becomes perverted, twisted & manipulative if & when the motives of love are selfish or seek to serve self! I speak with authority because I have been here, I have dine this very thing & I have hurt those who love my most!

#itslove when you know that person may never change for you, but you accept(with your own set limits) them as they are & support growth in thier life. #itslove when you know tomorrow might not come so today, no matter the beef has to be special. #itslove when you give & give & give & give & never expect anything in return!

#itslove when you lay down your life. #itslove when you give up your promise or most treasured thing/person to see someone elses life changed. #itslove when you in obedience take the punishment & death sentence for someone else. #itslove when you sit & wait with arms wide open for thier return no matter how many times they say no or ignore your calls, warnings, advice or love. #itslove when no matter how low you’ve sunk or how bad you’ve become or how filthy your life is or how jacked up you are you are still accepted, valued & treasured.

Do you know love? Do you know the selfless love described in the paragraph above?

There is only one love people. We all want it, live for it, need it, do really STUPID & heart wrenching stuff to try and get, yet the whole time He’s been THERE, right where you are, right where you need Him to be…

This post ended up in a place I originally had no intention of going… I just followed!

I love you, but more importantly He(Jesus-so noone is confused) loves you!!!

Did you leave any bread crumbs today?

Or were you too embarrassed by your actions or conversation that you picked up all the crumbs before anyone could follow you?

If that last question hurt, well it was supposed to!

I want to share a video with you that I found today, here is an example of what bread crumbs look like and how we should leave them along our journey. Big up to the Elevators for being Kingdom Minded!!!

What do you do when everything around you appears to die all at once? What do you say when the only thing that will come out of your mouth is an inaudible scream begging God to change His mind or ask how could you do this to me? How do you share something that you barley even remember because you have locked it away so deep into forgetfulness and threw away the key?

On Dec. 25th I was given the best present any man (married man) can ask for, a child/children!

Three days later it was all over, nothing, gone, poof, no chance to say goodbye, get sick of her cry, a chance to tell a little white lie… GONE!

I must be honest, I am just now getting to where i am able to cry and really cry.

Fear, guilt, self doubt and depression was driving my wife and I apart until we cried together, until we began to heal together, until we decided to believe and love God together again.

We are trying again, asking and believing God for twin!!! Zoe and Zion!

Any dreams seem to miscarry in your life? What are you doing about it now?
